I would respectfully disagree on this point: we all need outside influences, even if they're condemnatory. At every conceivable scale, too: families need the voice of the community that needs the voice of the state that needs the voice of the nation that needs the voice of the world. Leaving a group to "sort out its own flock" leads to sort of an echo chamber deal.
I agree that the issue at hand is sexism and not the muslim people, but if the muslim religion or the adherents of it advocate sexist practices then that's a problem. The people aren't the issue: the religion is. And that religion needs outside pressure of voices like Dawkins in order to change for the better; self governance tends to breed corruption, especially in religious situations where those in power can spin that corruption as divine edict.
